I’m not the only one who thinks it’s too much work.

The luminous and shocking beauty of the everyday is something I try to remain alert to, if only as an antidote to the chronic cynicism and disenchantment that seems to surround everything, these days. It tells me that, despite how debased or corrupt we are told humanity is and how degraded the world has become, it just keeps on being beautiful. Nick Cave, “Faith, Hope, and Carnage”

“There is a computer disease. Anybody who works with computers knows about it. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‘play’ with them!” Richard Feynman, “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman”

They had more detail in both the shadows and the highlights. The digital camera made photographing very, very easy. And I hated it. … In fact, had I photographed using a digital camera from the beginning, I’m not sure that I would have liked a single photograph that I had ever taken. ...

If I knew how to take a good picture, I’d do it all the time Robert Doisneau
